Just wondering if there is a reason why when you have none of something it is pluralised?

For example, I have 1 apple becomes I have no/0 apples.

It also depends how the question is aswered. Take this example.

Teacher: do you have an apple?

Kid 1: yes, I have an apple

Teacher: do you have an apple?

Kid 2: no, I have no apple.
